jont Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I rode off to a local scooter Rally!! Well, a mate was helping organise it! Actually, there was a great atmosphere an a friendly crowd of 6 to 8 hundred. Some excellent paint jobs there as well. Now that should come pretty close to the exploding boat for taking chances?!

wild foamy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Well, whilst you lot are out having fun I am stood in the middle of an airfield searching Joe publics cars for bombs, immigrants, drugs e.t.c. Sleeping in a tent in 30' heat, 12 hours a night for another week, highlight of my day was having some tidy blonde with a tiny skirt on spend half an hour trying to open her car bonnet...

2 Wheels Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Had to spend half the day pulling the brakes off my jeep. Was doing about 40mph when all of a sudden the left rear wheel locked up and dragged me all-over the road. Got it home and it took ages to get drum off the shoes. the shoe had plenty life left in it but it had snapped in 2 and totally locked the drum onto it. Both back brakes sorted now but wasn't easy as the sun was pelting down (good complaint) So all sorted for work again 2moro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Got introduced to what a properly souped up Toyota Supra can do. Now wanting one of them... as well as my car licence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyG Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Got introduced to what a properly souped up Toyota Supra can do. Now wanting one of them... as well as my car licence! Supras ARE pretty nippy, aye, lol! My cousin has an R34 Skyline GTS and that thing can move pretty well, too. Though I've got him into bikes now He had my old GPX750R off me and has now recently replaced it with an SV1000... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyG Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Had to nip to Kwik Fit, get one of the tyres on my wife's Punto repaired today. Also, got my Alfa up for sale as the sports bucket seats are just too uncomfortable for my back (same reason I've traded Thundercat in for the Midnight Star).
